ESPN always does some weird things in between good content so you have to respect it in a sense I guess… like if they put Stanford’s three freshmen there’s no reason at all not to include Jaida Civil and Deniya Prawl along with Mia Pauldo for Tennessee. Coach Caldwell has spoken directly about all three in addition to the local sportswriters that have seen them in action during practice. I actually think what Coach Caldwell said about Jaida Civil “possibly being one of the best players on the team” which is #7 according to ESPN preseason rankings is one of the highest compliments any freshmen player in the country has been given by a head coach this offseason. She also talked about Civil competing against Talaysia Cooper in practice.
Civil could win FOY in the SEC if she stays healthy and continues to develop.

Ready for the season now. Can’t wait for everyone to see how much better offensively and defensively we will be. Could see all three of those freshmen having multiple stand out games for the team.

Well, our freshmen will get their chance to go toe-to-toe with every girl on that list this season, except Emilee and Nyla.
And who knows... we might even see them come tourney time.

Let's bookmark that list and revisit it in April (between baseVol and softVol innings).

Got a couple of ABC games back to back in February. The ratings are going to be through the roof, because we’re going to be ranked #1 by then! Bookmark it!!!

Sorry I’m just a little excited for the season to start! 😩😂

We all excited lol….i think early on offensively we are going to be figuring things out with all the pieces….but this defense if played correctly in the full court and half court will be extremely NASTY can’t wait to see it and we are going to be better rebounding wise…..I hope we are working on half court offense particularly zone because I can guarantee that every opponent will be playing that against us..GBO

From the Kim interviews I expect she will be applying a lot of 'lessons learned' from last season about how other teams played us what was effective and not. Along with the addition of some great players it should be fun to watch.

We have to keep in mind that we play all the other teams in the top 8 but only Texas wii be at home. The best teams sometimes go undefeated at home, so my guess is that we may lose some but not all of these. It is why I am not worried about being on top during the regular season but more hopeful about being so much better at the end of the season for being battled tested.

Certainly a huge problem in grabbing a number one seed. If you could win half of that eight and all the other don't see how you wouldn't get it. The problem is winning that many against the top five teams on the road. Playing number one UConn, Two Sc, three UCLA, four LSU and also Texas at home along with Oklahoma top ten on the road is the number one schedule. How many of those do we win? That is our fate to determine number one seed and certainly the reason were rated a two or three seed.
